Company History
The History of Del Norte Ambulance,
and its future
Del Norte Ambulance has changed dramatically since its humble beginnings.
In the mid 1970s, ambulances were operated from mortuary services. Medical care performed at the scene or in route to the hospital was virtually non-existent.
In 1985, the owners realized that they were unable to continue to improve the service any further.
At this point, Ron Sandler -- moving from Southern California as a Paramedic with six years experience -- purchased Del Norte Ambulance. He immediately began a restructuring of DNA to include more modernized equipment and higher levels of training and professionalism.
In 1992, paramedic services were implemented. In 1996, Del Norte Ambulance built its headquarters in Fort Dick. This facility was the first in the county built specifically for ambulance service and support.
Today, three ambulances remain staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with other units available as needed. Crews are trained to provide patients with professional, compassionate care in their time of need. Training available includes the Del Norte Ambulance training center with CEs provided, quarterly skills testing, the ASHI Training site, CPR and first aid.
Del Norte Ambulance has very specific ideas as to how an ambulance company should be run. The most important of these ideas is "Team Work" -- everyone pulling together for the common goal of providing the best possible patient care.
At Del Norte Ambulance, we take pride in having an open door policy with all its employees and feel that it should be a family type atmosphere, in which all employees are recognized for who they are and what they have to offer, not just being a number.
The afore-mentioned accomplishments -- along with many others -- have earned Del Norte Ambulance the recognition of continually improving the medical services for the community as well as its employees. With your help we know that these improvements will continue in the coming years.
